If anyone is planning to go to NAB in Las Vegas, I’ll be presenting at the Adobe booth! This year I only have time to do a single presentation so grab some lunch and then go to the Adobe Booth! Presentation Time: 2pm on April 14th See if you there but if not, I think Adobe […]

Super busy but I wanted to share some exciting news, Element 3D V2.2 is almost ready! We’ve added some very cool new features for compositing, rendering, workflow and design! Plus some improved C4D integration. There are at least 5 impressive new features in this update! The poster graphic was also created entirely inside of Element 3D […]

Regardless of what country you live in, that means you can't use stuff from sources like istockphoto, either. Read the EULA carefully on royalty free sites. They clearly state what you can and can't use their images for.

Hi,
I'm sorry for the double post, but nobody answered my question yet.
"
Considering you guys will send the design to print after picking a winner, should the designs be CMYK colour?
Right now the t-shirt template is set to RGB, and Iâ€™m pretty sure if you convert it afterwards you won`t be able to make it look like the original."

I am going to win this, simple because I have to. I ran out of T-shirts and my wife has no abilities other then shrinking the ones I had. I have no abilities either, so all my eggs are now in the Video Copilot basket.

Else I will just walk around shirtless, but most likely I'll get arrested doing that.

I believe I have fixed the login issue. If you are still having problems or are experiencing problems deleting entries, please email patrick (at) videocopilot.net with a thorough explanation of the problem you are experiencing.

@kris
We have a system setup that helps in viewing the designs and saving the ones we like, so don't worry about the number of designs or think that your chances aren't going to be fair, they are. Please only sign-up with one account and only submit 5 T-Shirt entries. We want to see your 5 best designs, designs you have put a lot of hard work into. Remember, quantity doesn't equal quality, quality = quality :-D

This is crazy, i didnt mean in a bad way. The Design submission is over 1300 now and still counting. Its only few days andrew kramer posted. By the time its like the end of may, its going to be like 5000 designs. It will be hard for videocopilots staff to judge which is the best one. Like they say, votes doesnt count, its up to them to vote for it.

I know the fact people created multiple accounts so they can design more. Andrew, is that something that need to be included for 1 designer should only have 1 account instead of multiples?

Would it be possible to rework the "Top Rated" shirts option in the gallery viewer? As of now, it seems to mix number of ratings with number of stars, and come out with some average shirts. If there was an option to view "Highest Rated" and "Most Rated" that would be cool. I know that would probably take a lot of time though, so I understand if it can't be done.

Titso that is the point of the contest so they have a shirt design to sell. Being they are picking a winner and 4 runner-ups Iâ€™m sure they will eventually sell all 5 designs to have so variety. WHEN they will be available for purchase that is different, I have no clue on that one.

Hey man i need a favor!!
I need a Sam foto i mean its for the t-shirt contest but i would like to use a real photo from sam not only the vectro one. I got a great idea. Ok if you can send it please send it to my email.
Thanks and i hope i win lol.

This is such a great idea Andrew!!! it is really fun to look at the gallery, now there is over a thousand different designs!!! I have posted a few ideas of mine, they may not be the most artistic ones but I think some of them are pretty clever and may be fun to wear for all you motion FX geeks !! have a look a them : http://tshirt.videocopilot.net/user/967/newest/

I hope people continue to flood the gallery as they are doing right now!! there are a few out there I would wear for sure !!

I see a lot of people are possibly registering multiple accounts and voting for themselves. Shame on those who are doing that. Some of them are easily noticed by having 5 stars on multiple designs with the exact same number of votes.

Anyway, i know Andrew and co are gonna be making the final decision, its still slightly peeving though.

If you update a design and reupload the image and it is still showing as the old image, it is just a browser caching issue. Try holding shift and hitting F5 on your keyboard to refresh the page. I will fix this caching issue later, but for now, you can fix it by doing the above.

If you keep getting the login error that tells you that you have to be logged in to do that, try clearing your cookies, cache and restarting your browser. I will also be looking into this issue later.

well..Andrew...first of all...you guys did a Great job with that website! its built really well, and u can see the amount of time and effort u put into it, just for the contest, so Good Job! :]
I understand you are afraid of bad language used in the comments...thats cool. but maybe as time passes youll have time to add some new features to the website, cause still, although its a great website, something is missing to keep it alive and kicking for a whole month .......something like a feedback from the crowd.

how about adding comments with an option like this:
"Flag comments as inappropriate"
BTW there almost 1000 T-shirts designs submitted,
I wonder -Did you guys thought that you were going to have such successful contest, with that many t-shirts?

Either everyone has horrible taste in design or some people are boosting their own ratings thinking it will help. A number or really good entries are getting 1 or 2 stars and some of the most gaudy and amateurish designs are in the 4 star range.

Can't wait to see what you guys pick!

Love the "My Parents are null objects" and the F9 "For when things get hardy hard" (or whatever it was they said), both got a good chuckle from me.

I dont think your disqualified user, just your tshirt you sent is disqualified. You need to follow the rules I guess. I am just basing on your link you posted. It says "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters"

Just a note to anyone designing. Don't use trademarked/licensed material. There is a shirt I saw with bart simpson as much as I like the shirt it can't win unless Andrew is going to buy a license to use bart simpson which isn't cheap. There is another one with the videofather that has sam something like that is allowed because it falls under parody laws and there isn't any infringement. Just a little tip before you spend a lot of hard work on something that won't win because you are using licensed material trust me I would love to make some family guy video copilot shirts =o) but they will never be used because the licensing is way to expensive.

I watch all those projects and i find only few shirts i would wear. Many are really great looking - it requires lots of skills and work, however, its just to much for a t-shirt:] I guess simple is best. Simple doesnt mean bad. My favourite is shirt that cosists of only text--> "Im not and idiat". Couldnt stop laughting. I guess this is what it is al about;] good luck all. (me too:P)

I have the same problem as wersa
I fill out all the information, press register and it tells me to logon to do that. I try again with my other email address and the same thing happens.
I try to logon with those accounts, but it tells again that I must be registered to do that. I go to register again, enter the same email as before and it tells me that I have already registered with that email?
Do I just have to wait for some confirmation mail?

Evaluation looks so good on the shirts i am really enjoying admiring everyones designs.
This is a grate contest because from seeing other peoples amazing designs with those grate elements really inspires me to experiment and play with the elements.
Thanks Video Copilot and thanks every one.

Wow, you are so creative, guys. And I mean both the VideoCopilot staff who created that neat contest website and also the people submitting their t-shirt templates. By the way Andrew, the link in the FAQ section, question 8, doesn't work. Keep up the great work, lads!

that's what I love about you guys, you don't just do stuff, you take it to the highest professional level, tailor it to the topnotch, tease us, then tailor some more, and bang! you come out with it and it is meant to rock!

that is fun!
gonna read the rules now....I think I'm going to submit something, and definitely going to buy one tee for the summer, hope to meet some italian videocopilot fans with it..THAT IS FUN.THANK YOU AK!

You know that part in a movie where some guy gets sliced up with a sword and you can see a big cut across his ninja shirt?… Well usually they do some fancy editing where he has a robe without a slash and then it cuts to a close up where the shirt now has […]
